A former fashion magazine columnist, now based in the US, has criticised Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s fashion choices during her attendance at the 31st Apec Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Peru.

 

Mr Kiccha Buranond took to Facebook to express his disapproval of the Prime Minister's attire, comparing it to a tourist's casual outfit that would be deemed inappropriate for visiting Thailand’s revered Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

 

Kiccha particularly objected to Paetongtarn's choice of frayed trousers and trainers upon disembarking in Lima, Peru. According to him, these were unsuitable for someone performing official national duties at an international event.


He argued that a dark suit crafted from Thai fabric, complemented by stockings, high heels, and styled hair, would have been more fitting for the occasion.

 

The criticism didn’t stop at the ensemble upon her arrival. Kiccha extended his comments to other recent outfits worn by Thailand's Prime Minister, implying they lacked the polish expected of a leader at such high-profile meetings.

 

He remarked that one of her outfits resembled curtains draped over her shoulders, emphasising that these style choices seemed more personal than official.

 

Kiccha emphasised the importance of not overlooking these fashion choices, indicating that they send signals about a country's representation at global events.

 

While fashion might seem trivial to some, it plays a significant role in diplomatic circles where appearances often complement formal exchanges, reported Thai Newsroom.

 

While the Prime Minister's office has not commented on the issue, Kiccha's remarks have sparked a broader debate back home about the intersection of personal style and public representation, especially in global arenas. This incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny leaders face regarding their public image.
